issues and big taxing issues. but the fact remains that the country can avoid this crisis, can avoid default, without some big deal. they could avoid default simply by saying, we don't want to default. that's all they have to do. if democrats and republicans can agree on just that and nothing else, the idea that we don't want to default, that is good enough. it does not need to be a big expansive deal. and it is looking like that is probably how this will end. no big deal will be reached. both sides will only agree that we shouldn't default. and so, therefore, we won't default. but even if it ends like that, simply this is coming down to the wire now. the president saying tomorrow's the day. and just by definition, this is a fight that has to end soon. the fuse is already lit. we're going to be talking about democratic congressman barney frank in just a moment about how he sees this all ending. but as we head toward an end to this crisis, an end that is likely to reveal the utter pointlessness of the last few week

and we talk as a nation about doing big things. in detroit's case, the mayor has come right out and said what's very difficult to admit. that detroit has to get smaller. that he can't continue to support every neighborhood at the same level, because the city can't raise enough revenue. sound familiar? i want to keep focusing in on detroit here, because i think it's a particularly vivid example of the phenomenon called the hollow prize. you win something. and because of what's happening at the time you win it, the thing you've won tons out to be hollow. you've won a hollow prize. you're dave bing nba basketballç star, hometown hero, you win the race to be mayor. what do you get exactly? consider president obama who took the oath of office in january 2009. let's remember 2009, a month when the u.s. economy shrank the fastest in a quarter century. a month when we lost 600,000 jobs. when it stopped being unusual to find yourself suddenly unemployed or to know people who had just been put out of work. a month when it felt to many like

i'm sure that was an edified discussion for their big senate plan, which the president likes, but it is not the president and the senate who need to get together to decide this thing. it's the president and the senate and the drunk kids at the other end of the building who are setting their barbies on fire and cooking metal in the microwave until it explodes. watch it burn! watch it burn! honestly, time for a reality check here. house republicans are not trying to drive a hard bargain and get the best deal possible. house republicans do not want to raise the debt ceiling. for anything. they would please not like to raise the debt ceiling. they would like to go into default, thank you very much. house republicans have been actively making that argument for weeks now that hitting the debt ceiling, oh, that won't hurt a bit, who cares? republican congressman mo brooks of alabama told the washington post this week that on the contrary, all credit rating should be improved by not raising the debt ceiling, which is like saying you're looking forward to how that sledge hammer is going to im
